rm TICKET;

Application filed November 14, 1924, Serial No. 749,968, and in Germany April 7, 1924;

This invention relates to tickets orilalielsada ptedto be attached to fabrics, clothing.

or other merchandise of various kinds, by

means of two pins rigidly secured to the ticket. These two pins may be formed by two wires singly secured to the ticket, or by the ends of a bowed wire.

The essential feature of the invention consists in arranging the base-point of one of 1 said pins at such a distance from the basepoint of the other pinthat the pins, after having pierced the fabric or the like, can be simultaneously and completely bent down, the one towards the other by'nieans of finger pressure acting from the outer side of said pins, andthe points of said pins can be pressed down upon or into the fabric without any possibility that the fingers acting upon the pins hinder each other. in comparison with the pin-tickets hitherto known which have the pins at so short a distance fromeach other that the pins must be bent outwardly by gripping upon the pin-' points, the. novel pin-ticket offers the advantage that the pins can be'bent down with-' outtouching the points of said pins, and 'without danger of injuring the fingers of the manipulating person.

In order to provide'for the pin-points being very closely pressed upon or into the fabric, these portions of the wire which produce the rigid association of the pins 'to the ticket, i. e., either the head uniting thespins and preferably bent over the edge of the ticket or the winding of the wire atthe base-points of the single pins, may extend into the space between the pins, such extending portions being arranged at a small distance. from the pins in order to form an ele- 40 vatiorna'rib or awall for each of the pins thepins have been bent down, lie below and bet-ween the curved portions of the pins, whereby a complete protection for the pinpoints is effected.

The head or wire-bow uniting the pins, and arranged on the back-side of the ticket may be provided in that portion which extends into the space between the pins with inflections within which'the pins are standing, and which are so close to the pins that theyact as abutment and prop for the pins on bending said pins towards each other. By this means, among other advantages, the effect is offered that the material of the ticket is prevented'froin being torn in attaching the ticket to the article to be marked.

The head or Wirebow arranged on the back-side of the ticket may, furthermore, be provided with an upward bending, behind which the pin points are completely protected when the pins are bent towards each other and down upon the fabric. 4 .76

In order to cause the pin-points'to enter into the fabric at astill greater extent, the ticket may be provided with an excavation stamped at that placewhere the pin-points, after having been pressed down, will touch the ticket.

By the 'main feature of the invention, and by the Various improvements mentioned before, a pin-ticket of cheap and simple construction is provided which may be conveniently and without any danger manipulated and quickly attached at any place of the fabric or other article to be marked; further a pin-ticket is provided the pins of which can be simultaneously and completely bent towards each other, and down upon the fabric by means of two fingers acting upon the outer side ofthe pins, whereby the pin-points entering into the fabric are'pre -vented from injuring as well the hands of the manipulating person as the fabric, clothing, or the like.

Several'diiferent forms of pin-tickets embodying this invention and showing the mainfeatures of same are illustrated in the accompanying drawings:
